A few new coffee shops in the area offer more local options for a fresh brew and a bite.

► Hello Coffee launched July 28 in the former Starbucks location in the Shoppes at Audubon near the Collier-Lee county line in North Naples.

The local family-owned-and-operated coffee shop features a fresh assortment of pastries such as muffins, scones, cronuts, cookies and tarts delivered daily from the nearby Mikkelsen’s Pastry Shop in North Naples. Breakfast fare includes quiche, breakfast burritos, New York-style bagels and croissant sandwiches.

Hot drinks include house favorites caramel mocha and white chocolate mocha. The shop has single or double espressos as well as lattes, café mocha, cappuccino, hot chocolate, hot teas, chai tea latte, matcha green tea and coffee brewed mild and light, dark and bold or as a mild decaf.

Cold drinks feature mocha granita, a frozen blended coffee drink made fresh from scratch daily and topped with whipped cream. Italian sodas, iced coffee and iced teas are available in a variety of flavors, and the shop also sells wine and beer, including Florida microbrews and nitro brew on tap.

► The Coffee Snob opened Oct. 1 in Sanctuary RV Resort on the north side of Bonita Beach Road east of Interstate 75.

In addition to freshly brewed hot coffee, the new coffee shop has cold brew, iced coffee and frosted coffee. A menu of specialty espresso drinks includes lattes, cappuccinos and macchiatos. The family-run shop also has its own soft-serve ice cream machine for desserts and drinks.

“We’ll have some pastries and baked goods to go with the coffee,” owner Seth Trees said.

The all-organic coffee roaster also sells freshly ground or whole bean coffee by the ounce or pound. The coffee can be customized light, medium or dark with choices from different locations such as Guatemala, Honduras and Papua New Guinea.

“We can do on-demand roasting,” Trees said.

The new shop has indoor and outdoor seating in the former spot of Hidden Paradise Café, which relocated this spring two miles west to the Flamingo Island Flea Market on Bonita Beach Road just west of I-75.

The Coffee Snob, 13660 Bonita Beach Road SE, is open 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays, and closed Sundays. For more information call 352-431-5814 or go to TheCoffeeSnobFL.com.

Overlooking the Tuscan-style marina, the new Cafe by the Bay is the only Lavazza coffee shop in Naples, featuring specialty Italian-based Lavazza coffee, espresso drinks, signature lattes and teas, among other items. In addition to coffee, Cafe on the Bay serves classic breakfast items such as buttermilk pancakes, French toast, omelets and breakfast and lunch sandwiches such as a Breakfast BLT, Naples Bay Club Sandwich, a chicken salad croissant and a turkey brie raspberry on ciabatta bread. The cafe also features a daily special salad as well as smoothies and fresh pastries.

The new coffee shop, open from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily, offers breakfast, lunch and all-day dining. For more information go to NaplesBayResort.com.
